He took with him a gift of audio Bibles from Wordproject.\u00a0 Among the many testimonies of people receiving the Gospel and the excitement of those who were blessed with the audio players, he mentioned that during the 36-hour bus ride he sat next to a young Congolese man with whom he shared the Gospel. At a certain point \u00a0he gave this young man an audio Bible, which he immediately plugged himself into and listened all the way through. \u00a0Samuel reported that the need for Audio Bibles is very great there, not only because Bibles are hard to find but also because audio Bibles make it possible for people who never learned to read to hear the Word of God. \u00a0Thank you for your prayers for greater supply.<\/p>\n<p>Here are several pictures of Samuel&#8217;s trip that started in Nairobi, through Uganda and then into the eastern part of Congo on the way to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kisangani\" target=\"_blank\">Kisangani<\/a>. This will also give you a glimpse of the conditions and the need in many areas in central Africa.
